I ended up replaying that scene a few times just to listen to the music. (What an amazing Roadhouse performance.) But in doing that I kind of made a connection between the title, Axolotl, and that one line "accidental amphibian," and wondered if her slow crawl across the floor wasn't supposed to be a callback to the frogmoth hatching and slooowly making it's way across the desert sand.
Besides that I just got the sense that something was very wrong inside of this girl, and I'm curious if all of these random roadhouse scenes are going to tie together.
I'm still watching to see if Twin Peaks ends up being the "Farm" and if this isn't related to the farming process.
Did she say she was waiting for someone? Or maybe someone to return..
Meeting someone.
Or just illustrating that she's invisible to everyone. I had an ex who looked like her and has issues of self esteem, so I immediately thought of that.
(Btw I just mentioned the steven universe connection in another topic, sorry, I hadn't read this one yet. The conversation is so lively!)
One of the men who force Ruby from the booth holds / rubs his neck for a moment, this happens immediately after we see Audrey strangling Charlie. There are other instances where we appear to see echoes of her experience appearing in the Roadhouse scenes, which leads me to believe that she is in a place which sends a strong signal, same as Coop.
If Ruby's scene at the Roadhouse, is parallel to Dale trying to come back, could it be that Audrey needs to go to the Roadhouse, not because of her lover but because his Special Agent is coming back?
(I do second anyway, the idea that Ruby portraits the idea of the human search for empathy)

Now, I take this scene as another reference or symbol to the bombing of Hiroshima with the girl symbolizing a victim crawling and screaming after the nuclear bomb went off. Tying in with episode 8 nuclear test and the song Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, and the picture of the Hiroshima nuclear blast behind Cole's desk,

There is now an article on this site about the synchronizing of the two scenes, with the video. http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/theories/dale-cooper-ruby-screaming-video/
They are precisely timed to end at exactly the same moment. Janey screams at the exact moment Ruby does. It's electrifying. The article proposes that there might be other synchronicity between the random Roadhouse scenes and other scenes in the series.
